Curry Beans, Carrots and Cucumber Salad is great pack-for-lunch salad. With filling, spicy and flavorful curried beans and crunchy vegetables, this salad is my best option when packing lunch for office at-night in hurry. Not only does it save me from eating out, but also helps me get a good serving vegetables.

Today, I made this salad with cucumber, cherry tomatoes, carrot and shallots.

You can use any crunchy and raw vegetables per your liking. I often mix-n-match - cucumber, red radish, carrots, fava beans, turnips, cherry tomatoes and sweet peppers. For curried beans, I rinsed canned beans and fried with few spices a night before. You can use fresh cooked beans, leftover beans from taco-night or even canned chickpeas, just saute'em with spices mentioned in ingredients list.

Assemble and Serve -In serving bowl, arrange cucumber, tomato, shallots and curried beans (top beans with some sour cream if you prefer). Drizzle vinaigrette on top and enjoy!! For lunch, you can place all veggies in lunch box with beans. Pack vinaigrette in separate container and use when eating.
